HOW DO I GET TO MILLPORT?

By Car & Coach – the Motorway network from Glasgow and the M8, takes you to the A737. The A760 then takes you directly to Largs. Many choose to leave their car in Largs, either in the car park on the main promenade next to the ferry port (a postcode for those using sat nav. to this location is KA30 8LZ) or on one of the back roads near the ferry terminal. If you choose to come over on the ferry as a foot passenger, once you have parked in Largs or alighted your coach, simply follow the instructions down below from point (1).

For those who choose to bring their cars or coaches over on the ferry; when you come onto the island turn left, and stay on the coast road (do not take the right turn directing you into Millport 400m from the ferry). The postcode for those using sat nav. is KA28 0LH.

By Rail – with the close proximity of Largs train station to the Millport ferry, and the excellent links to Glasgow Central train station, this is understandably a very popular (and low carbon) way of reaching the island. You may find it cheaper to book tickets to Glasgow, and then buy a separate ticket for the last short leg of the journey from Glasgow Central to Largs.

(1) Once you arrive in Largs train station simply head out the main exit, and once on the high street you will see the slip way, from where the ferry departs, 100 metres to your left.

(2) To the left of the slip way there is a small ferry office where you can buy a return passenger ticket for under £5. Then board the ferry (on the return journey no tickets are collected, so you only need a ticket to get to the island).

By Air – Glasgow Airport has flights to and from many UK and international cities. There is a regular bus service from Glasgow Airport to Paisley Gilmour Street train station (on most days, throughout the day, this runs every 10 minutes), currently this route is served by the no. 66 and takes 14 minutes. This 2 mile journey is also possible by taxi. From Gilmour Street, a regular direct train service to Largs takes approximately 45 minutes. Once you arrive at Largs, simply follow the instructions above from step (1). Alternatively, you can rent a car or even get a taxi to Largs from the airport.
